CBPS: Caregiver Burnout Prevention System

It's 11:47pm. You're standing in the kitchen holding a sandwich you started making two hours ago and forgot about. You're eating it cold because it's the closest thing you'll get to dinner tonight. Your phone shows 14 unread messages. You haven't figured out how to say 'I can't do this anymore' without sounding like you're giving up. You're exhausted but can't sleep because tomorrow starts at 6am with meds, meals, and someone else's needs. The guilt of feeling burned out makes everything worse—you signed up for this, right? Wrong. Caregiving shouldn't mean disappearing. This system helps you build a sustainable path forward without guilt.

What you get: • Recovery Plan Builder — templates to map energy, rest, and support into weekly action steps • Delegation Script Cards — copy/paste asks your family members won't ignore • Fallback Care Map — backup plan so critical care stays covered if you crash • Strain Tracker — visual dashboard to spot burnout patterns before they become crises • Escalation Triggers Guide — red flags and scripts to get help before breaking point • Gap Finder Worksheet — find hidden calendar time you didn't know you had • Panic-to-Step Workflow — one-page guide to turn overwhelming moments into one clear action
